The Israeli Navy has sent two more warships to the Egypt border in the Red Sea, saying that southern Israel could be attacked from Egyptian soil, a claim denied by Cairo.
以色列海軍已經派出再多兩艘軍艦往埃及邊界紅海，說以色列南可能受到來自埃及土壤的襲擊，那是一項開羅否認的聲稱。
“Two naval craft have been sent to the Red Sea,” AP quoted an Israeli military official as saying on Tuesday.
“兩艘海軍船隻已被發送到紅海，”美聯社週二援引一位以色列軍方官員的話說。
Earlier on Monday, Israeli Defense Forces' (IDF) Chief of Staff Lt. Gen Benny Gantz authorized bolstering deployment across the entire southern territories, specifically areas close to the Israeli-Egyptian border.
Meanwhile, areas next to the border have in recent weeks become the scene of increased military build-up described by some security observers as “unprecedented,” after several Israelis were killed in an attack on a number of vehicler near the Egypt border on Aug. 18.
Following the attacks, Israeli officials had claimed that Egypt's grip on Sinai was weakening.
Meanwhile, Egypt's South Sinai Governor Khaled Fouda denied reports that the attackers had opened fire on Israeli vehicles from Sinai.
"The South Sinai governor denied there was any gunfire from Taba towards Eilat port," state television said in reference to the Egyptian Red Sea resort across the border from Eilat.
